1. Message

1.1. Safe Flight Manager

The AT+GTSFM command is used to control network communication module.
➢ AT+ GTSFM
Example:

 <On Off Enable>: Enable or disable “SFM” based functionality.

Q fide
⚫ 0: Disable
⚫ 1: Enable
 <Off Time>: When “SFM” is enabled and the device fails to get GPS position for “Off Time”
minutes, network communication module will be disabled. Before doing that, GL521M has
to inform the server and report this to USB UART first. So it will need one minute more to

n
make sure the report is sent. When it is set to 0, the network module will be deactivated
immediately when the device fails to get GPS position. And the TROF message will be sent

o
first, the other messages will be put into buffer when deactivated.
 <On Time>: If GPS signal is recovered and available for “On Time” minutes the network

C
communication module can be activated again. This works in “AND” relation to “SF Alt” and
“SF Speed” parameters. After network module is activated, it has to be reported to server
and USB UART. When it is set to 0, network is activated immediately after first successful
GPS fix (with respect to SF Alt and SF Speed settings). And the TRON message will be sent
first, the other messages will be put into buffer.
 <SF Alt>: If GPS signal is available for “On Time” minutes and unit’s altitude is lower than “SF
Alt”, network communication module can be activated. If it is set to 0, this condition will be
ignored.
 <SF Speed>: If GPS signal is available for “On Time” minutes and unit’s speed is lower than
“SF Speed”, then network communication module can be activated. If it is set to 0, this
condition will be ignored.
 <Gsensor Mode>: Enable or disable the Gsensor mode. If it is enabled, device will only use
the Gsensor to trigger the entering/exiting flight event. And all other settings will become
invalid.

⚫ 0: Disable
⚫ 1: Enable
 <Open GPS Interval>: If SFM is enabled, the GPS will be turned on when <Open GPS
Interval> arrives.
Note:
 Because GPS is on need, the judging result would not be very accurate. The SFM would be
judged according to the GPS fix status in following ways:
⚫ If <On Time> and <Off Time> settings are less than 3mins, the SFM judgment for the
GPS fix would depend on the last GPS status when the GPS is off.
⚫ If the <On Time> or <Off Time> settings are more than 3mins, and the SFM judgment for

k
the GPS fix status would depend on the next GPS status when the GPS is on.
